Something I wrote on my FB page: I remember many years ago, a dear person Louise, took me on the LIRR. We went to the beach on Long Island. The power of the ocean was incredible, just as she was.Nothing but waves crashing in, as far as the eye could see. A sense of rapture. I felt insignifigent in ...

@Gibson343 Man, that is some good shit you got there! Seriously, You gotta write an article about your experiences. You've even compelled me to use one of those emoticons that normally annoy me.

"Known to Exist" is like the tree that falls in the woods. If there is no one there to here it does it make a sound? When it gets played, when people hear it, then it takes on a whole new meaning.[/quote] OK I'll not post again, it's YOUR subject. Fine.[/quote] Relax, I'm not attacking you. I joined ...

I just found this site. I have not downloaded anything myself yet. You'll have to copy and paste the links to your browser. I'm assuming that these are all mp3's and not flac as most of them appear to be single links. There is not a whole lot of information on the site about any of the shows. My ...

Ok so no soundboard tape exists, apart the ones from bootlegs like the Gymnasium or perhaps The Matrix. The Doors '70 tapes are very good to excellent (sound & performance), only the Matrix show is a shitty dub from a fourth generation copy from a Swingin' Pig set and the Boot Yer Butt is an insult ...

One thing that is true from reading all of these comments is that you can take 8 people and get as many different ideas about how these things should be done. Which really is ok. We all have different experiences as listeners as well as collectors. I guess I should note that I heard the Quine tapes ...
